"TOY STORY 3" Wins GOLDEN GLOBE

Plenty of Explosions and Punches, But Sadly, GREEN HORNET Lacks 'STING'

FAIL


I went to the free preview of "The GREEN HORNET" last night, and I have to say that I was a little disappointed. The lame advertising tag line "They have to break the law to save it" was weak, and -as I feared- also signaled a weak plot.
As a fan of the original TV series (which was an adaptation of a comic which was an adaptation of a radio show), I was curious how the classic 'Kato' character (originated by the legendary BRUCE LEE) would be portrayed. I was pleasantly surprised by the stereotypically stoic-yet-comically-explosive performance by Jay Chou. He was a brilliant 'Kato'.

The title character, however, was a different story altogether. The Green Hornet needed to be strong and assertive. Seth Rogen tried, but he’s just goofy. (Also being the co-writer & co-producer, the humor was just ‘mildly entertaining’-- like anything else he does) The sets and 3D were very cool! The action was pretty good, but the gratuitous fight scenes were too few. It was as if the movie would ‘try’ to take off, but Rogen’s sub-par talent would just drag it back to mediocrity.

Disney's "Tangled": My Opinion

If you are a fan of Classic Disney Animation, this CG ("computer-generated") re-telling of the classic "Rapunzel" is a welcome treat. The graphics are very well-done, and the tale is mildly entertaining. (Think "Shrek Light")

The scenery is beautifully rendered, and the action is nicely-paced and well-timed. I think it will be great for everyone. Disney had recently announced a departure from the whole 'fairy tale' genre, but the unexpected success of this offering may cause them to re-think that strategy.

Two words: See it.
